A limited-edition Ross Reels San Miguel 5/6 designed in collaboration with Stranahan’s Colorado Whiskey. Machined in Montrose, Colorado, the reel features a smoke-textured Cerakote finish, yellow-anodized engraving of the Roaring Fork River, laser-etched contoured river tributary lines, and a handle crafted from the same American White Oak used in Stranahan’s whiskey barrels. Accented with solid pure copper drag knob, drag knob ring, and counterweight, the Ross Reels San Miguel 5/6 is built to celebrate craftsmanship, Colorado heritage, and the slower pace of river time.

Stranahan’s whiskey started on the banks of the Roaring Fork River near Aspen, CO, and its Denver distillery sits along the South Platte River — waters that inspire and connect this collaboration. A total of $75 from every Ross Reels × Stranahan’s San Miguel purchase supports The Greenway Foundation and Roaring Fork Conservancy, helping protect and restore the rivers that run through both stories of Ross Reels and Stranahan’s.
